Exact Sciences' Cologuard Continues to Grow as an Alternative to Colonoscopy

Julie Utterback Senior Equity Analyst

Business Strategy and Outlook

| Julie Utterback |

Exact Sciences has a three-pronged approach to cancer testing: non-invasive Cologuard is likely to continue gaining share of colorectal cancer screening, and ongoing development of both early screening and minimum residual disease, or MRD, testing gives Exact exposure to the nascent liquid biopsy market. Exact is attempting to position itself as a winner regardless of whether liquid biopsy takes off, with Cologuard likely to remain a decent alternative to colonoscopy over the near term, while the firm’s pan-cancer and single-cancer liquid biopsy tests could offset Cologuard share loss in a scenario where liquid biopsy rapidly gains share.

Company Profile EXAS

Business Description

Exact Sciences Corporation, headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin, provides cancer screening and diagnostic test products in the United States and internationally. Exact’s Cologuard screening test, a non-invasive stool-based DNA test, is a pre-cancer screening test for colorectal cancer. The company also competes in the precision oncology market with Oncotype DX, a genetic-based treatment selection test for breast, prostate, and colon cancers. With the acquisitions of Base Genomics and Thrive Earlier Detection, Exact is building a multi-cancer early screening test to detect over 14 cancers, a test that would be one of the earliest entrants in multi-cancer liquid biopsy cancer screening.

Style is an investment factor that has a meaningful impact on investment risk and returns. Style is calculated by combining value and growth scores, which are first individually calculated.

High-growth stocks tend to represent the technology, healthcare, and communications sectors. They rarely distribute dividends to shareholders, opting for reinvestment in their businesses. More value-oriented stocks tend to represent financial services, utilities, and energy stocks. These are established companies that reliably pay dividends.
